We are weeding out the differences from a file on the basis of a field A.
Is there any way we can retain the last occurence of a particular value of the field A and discard the duplicates? What I mean is :
| Code: |
Record number Field A Rest of record
1 AAA 12345
5 AAA 11111
10 AAA 22222
|
We need to keep the last record i.e record number 10 in our output and remove the other two!!
Any suggestions?????????????????????????????????????? |

| I am sorry: I meant we are weeding out duplicates from the record...(and not differences as in my prev post!!) |

You can use a DFSORT/ICETOOL job like the following to do what you asked for:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN DD DSN=... input file
//OUT DD DSN=... output file
//TOOLIN DD *
SELECT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(19,7,CH) LAST
/*

Ok. If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
